Pronunciation
Arabic أمينة: /ʔa.ˈmiː.na/ — a-MEE-na
“Trustworthy”, in the Arabic form أمينة.
Amina in the Arabic form أمينة means “trustworthy”. It is the feminine of Amin, and its meaning can make it a thoughtful choice for someone drawn to the idea of trust. The m and n sounds and long middle vowel give the name a warm, unhurried feel. The Latin spelling can also stand for the related Arabic name آمنة, meaning “safe”. The two forms differ in sound as well as writing: أمينة is amīna, with a long ee in the middle; آمنة is āmina, with a long a at the beginning. The form here is أمينة, so “trustworthy” is the meaning to keep with it.
Etymology: Arabic amīna, the feminine of amīn, “trustworthy”, from the root ʾ-m-n.
